RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds let you see when websites have added new content. You can get these updates in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the sites you have taken the feed from. You can read summaries of the article then click on the link for the full version.

The first thing you need to have to start using RSS is a news reader. This is software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.
